Swollen salivary gland, get that checked out, might be a clog in one of the ducts (srs).

Interesting...

I was eating fruit preserve on toast when I got this sharp tingling in the upper left side of my mouth. Now it's slightly swollen. I didn't notice any soreness until I ate the preserve. Could it be the cause?

I'm assuming that it was already swollen before you ate the preserve, but if one of your salivary ducts are clogged it may cause discomfort since the gland is trying to secrete stuff to digest what you just ate. Go see a doctor lulz.

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I am at school so I can't go see a doctor right away. I don't trust the health center on campus either. Is this something I can put off until tomorrow or should I be skipping classes and getting to a doctor asap?

You should be okay if it is actually a clog in your salivary duct, it shouldn't get any worse. It's also easy to treat. I wouldn't hold it off for too long though, there is a possibility that it's something worse...
